Early Death Risks of Divorce and How You Can Avoid The Grim Reaper

Divorce can be healthy for some!

Can divorce kill you? Unfortunately, a recent study shows the risk of dying increases by 23 percent if you have suffered through a divorce in your lifetime.

In fact, the report by the University of Arizona was more like a “review” of 32 published studies that compared early death in divorced and married adults. The accumulated studies were undertaken in a 27-year span and reported on more than 6.5 million adults in 11 countries.

Divorce was found by lead researcher and UA psych professor David Sbarra to be as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day or other unhealthy lifestyles such as drinking heavily, being overweight or not getting enough exercise. However, the study did not come to any conclusions regarding how divorce can lead to early death.

So how do you make your housing transition go more smoothly? Firstly, don’t take any action until you’ve hired a qualified family law lawyer who can guide you regarding all the legal and financial issues about the family home.

Divorce is normally a sad occasion, but more and more ex wives and ex husbands are considering a divorce ceremony. Sometimes called a divorce party, these rituals can be life changing for those who want to move forward emotionally after a difficult split.

Of course, it is most important to hire a qualified family law lawyer for the best possible legal outcome, but a divorce party can help you “close the door” on your relationship in a positive way.

In Japan, divorce ceremonies are a cultural phenomenon. Unhappy couples come together in a public ceremony to mark the end of their relationship. They invite friends and family to dress up, enjoy a buffet meal and then end the marriage by crushing their wedding rings together with a heavy gavel.
